Date Published
What a great day in Samagaun!
Yesterday, Himalayan Environment and Life Protection (H.E.L.P.) organized the 2025 Nubri trail race. 39 participants from Samagaun, Samdo and Lho — grouped in categories for women, and men below and above 40 — saw fantastic results, with the men-below-40 winner running the distance between Shayla (3300m), Samdo (3850m) and Samagaun (3560m) in only 2 hours! Women participants also performed outstandingly, with the winner running these 21 km in only 2 hrs and 35 mins.
These outstanding results and joyful day testify to Nubri villagers’ resilience and strength, and open the door for communities and youth to participate in national and international trail races in the future. Here’s to this year’s race, and hopefully many more races to come and opportunities for high Himalayan villagers to run local and global marathons!
